avcjidable.  In  ])resenting  this  book  to  the  public  the  publisher

NEW  YORK  CITY. 


To  the  unreflecting  mind  it  looks  almost  incredible  that  this  great  Empire 
City,  with  over  a  million  of  population,  was  founded  a  little  more  than  two  cen- 
turies ago. 

In  1609  Hendric  Hudson  discovered  Manhattan  Island.  The  Island  was 
then  inhabited  by  a  race  of  savages,  and  was  an  unreclaimed  wilderness.  In 
1614  a  company  of  Dutch  traders  obtained  a  charter  from  the  States-General 
of  Holland  to  trade  with  the  people  inhabiting  the  New  Netherlands.  It  was  some 
time  after  that  a  colony  erected  a  few  scattered  dwellings  near  the  present  site  of 
Battery  Park,  and  christened  the  settlement  New  Amsterdam,  This  name  it 
retained  until  the  Dutch  surrendered  to  the  English  in  1664,  when  the  name  was 
changed  to  New  York,  in  honor  of  the  Duke  of  York. 

The  whole  Island  was  purchased  from  the  Indians  in  1624,  for  the  sum  of 
sixty  guilders,  which  represents  about  twenty-four  dollars.  Not  until  after  the 
Revolution  did  the  city  begin  to  increase  perceptibly  in  population.  Then  the 
establishment  of  peace,  and  the  dawn  of  the  nation's  liberty,  gave  an  impetus  to 
trade  with  foreign  countries,  and  insured  a  steady  growth  of  population. 

The  city  is  sixteen  miles  in  length,  extending  from  the  Battery  on  the  south 
to  Yonkers  City  and  Westchester  County  lines  at  the  north,  and  varies  in 
width  from  a  few  hundred  yards  on  the  southern  front  to  four  and  a  half  miles 
at  its  widest  parts,  being  about  forty-one  and  a  half  square  miles  in  area,  or 
26,560  acres,  of  which  about  nineteen  square  miles  was  annexed  from  the  County 
of  Westchester  a  few  years  ago.  The  first  charter  of  the  city  was  granted  in 
1686,  by  James  II.,  king  of  England,  and  the  second  by  George  II.,  In  1730,  which 
remained  until  1827,  when  the  Legislature  of  the  State  of  New  York  granted 
another  charter,  which  though  variously  amended,  is  still,  in  a  limited  degree, 
the  basis  of  the  existing  law. 

Its  commercial  supremacy  makes  it  the  depository  and  sales-room  of  the 
vast  factories  of  New  England  and  the  Middle  States.  Its  situation  upon  the 
Hudson,  the  great  highway  of  the  Empire  State,  early  made  the  city  the  rendez- 
vous of  merchants  and  traders  from  far  and  near,  the  opening  of  the  Erie  Canal 
and  the  New  York  Central  Railroad  at  grades  but  a  little  above  tide-level,  have 
been  the  means  of  pouring  the  products  of  our  vast  grain  and  grazing  fields  of 
the  West  in  constantly  increasing  streams  into  our  own  and  the  markets  of  the 
world.  With  these  advantages,  and  with  nearly  all  other  ports  on  llie  Atlantic 
seaboard  practically  cut  ofT  from  our  great  factories  of  the  East  and  the  grain- 
growing  and  grazing  fields  of  the  West  by  the  natural  barriers  of  our  mountain 
systems,  almost  or  quite  beyond  competition,  wliat  wonder  then,  with  such  a 
harbor  open  to  the  ocean,  that  our  metropolis  is  the  commercial  centre  of  the 
world.

THE  NEW  ST.  PATRICK'S  CATHEDRAL, 
Fifth  Avenue. 


CENTRAL  PARK. 


Central  Park  is  always  a  point  of  central  attraction  for  visitors  coming  to 
New  York.  It  is  one  of  the  most  popular  resorts  of  its  kind  in  the  world.  It 
possesses  attractions  of  such  a  varied  character  as  to  make  its  reputation  a 
national  one. 

The  length  of  the  Park  is  about  two  and  a  half  miles,  from  59th  street  to 
iioth  street,  and  about  half  a  mile  wide  between  Fifth  and  Eighth  avenues, 
and  contains  862  acres.  The  length  of  carriage-drives  is  about  ten  miles,  the 
bridle-paths  eight  miles,  and  length  of  walks  about  thirty  miles. 

To  see  Central  Park,  to  appreciate  its  kaleidoscopic  beauties,  would  con- 
sume much  unnecessary  time  and  labor,  if  the  visitor  were  not  already  familiar 
with  the  points  of  interest  to  see  and  how  to  see  them.  That  this  want  may  be 
supplied,  the  following  places  are  noted  as  of  especial  interest  : 

The  Gallery  of  Statuary  and  Art,  Flower  Gardens,  Museum  of  Natural 
History  on  Eighth  avenue,  the  Terrace,  the  Belvidere  Tower,  the  Mall,  where 
music  may  be  enjoyed  ever}-  Saturday  afternoon  if  the  weather  is  fine  ;  here, 
also,  maybe  seen  the  bronze  statues  of  the  Indian  Hunter  and  Dog,  the  poets 
Halleck,  Burns,  Scott  and  Shakespeare  ;  adjacent  to  the  Mall  are  the  Play- 
grounds and  Carousel,  marble  arch,  and  the  adjacent  stone  ballusiered  stair- 
ways, wonderfully  wrought  in  animals,  birds,  vines  and  foliage  ;  near  the  foot 
of  the  stairwa}'  is  the  lake  and  boat-landing  ;  in  the  centre  of  the  intervening 
court  is  the  great  bronze  fountain. 

Then,  also,  tiiere  are  the  statues  of  Humboldt,  Morse,  Moore,  Mazzini 
and  Webster.  The  Obelisk,  as  a  matter  of  course,  must  be  seen  and  admired. 
It  stands  near  the  ygih  street  and  Fifth  avenue  entrance  to  the  Park,  and 
notwithstanding  its  great  age  and  long  journey,  is  as  erect  and  symmetrical 
as  a  growing  reed  on  the  banks  of  the  Nile.  In  fact  it  is  a  model  of 
monumental  architecture  and  proportion.  The  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art 
and  the  Sybil's  Cave  are  but  a  short  distance  from  the  Obelisk.  There  are 
many  attractions  in  the  Park  which  we  have  not  space  to  enumerate  .  the  visi- 
tor wiU  meet  them  at  every  turn,  and  should  any  desire,  any  of  tlie  numerous 
park-keepers  will  give  the  directions  required.
